The judges presiding over the trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Shaul Elovitch are considering summoning Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to court to discuss legal proceedings directly. This possibility arose following a request from the defense teams for Netanyahu and Elovitch, prompted by testimony from former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit concerning investigative actions in the case. The defense lawyers asked for Baharav-Miara to appear in court after Mandelblit testified about the investigation's actions. However, the judges revealed that they had already considered this course of action themselves before the defense's request was filed. Judge Oded Shacham explicitly stated, "The defense may have kicked down an open door, because we were considering such a move even before." Shaul Elovitch's lawyer proposed conducting the conversation with Baharav-Miara behind closed doors.
